Join us on May 8th for is year's CAIT Research Showcase, featuring lightning talks from faculty recipients of CAIT Research Awards and PhD fellowships.
This year, we're excited to host a panel on AI and Human Values, moderated by Sr. Vice Dean Garud Iyengar.

Panel: Human-AI Collaboration
Since generative AI exploded into the public eye in early 2023, it's changed the way we think about technology's role in our lives. This year's CAIT Showcase panel build's on last year's discussion of emerging possibilities and challenges in generative AI, with a deep dive into how we interact with these technologies and what they mean for our values.
Panel participants:
Garud Iyengar (Sr. Vice Dean of Research and Academic programs; Tang Family Professor of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, Columbia Engineering - Moderator)
Lydia Chilton (Amazon Visiting Academic, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Columbia Engineering)
